HBCEC

HBCEC is recorded on the SARFund database as a reported liquidity-mining ponzi. The case is currently in pending disbursement and has been assigned for coordination with the verified recovery firm coordinating this case.

Common across the case file: operators required upfront deposits routed through obscure custodial wallets and demanded “tax” or “verification” fees before withdrawal. These behaviours, combined with blocked withdrawal requests, are the basis on which SARFund classified the platform as a verified scam broker.

Public chatter on Reddit victim threads, direct victim submissions through SARFund and Facebook group reports shows the same recurring complaint structure: deposits go in, dashboard “earnings” appear, withdrawal requests trigger fee demands, and contact eventually goes silent.

What evidence helps most

Transaction hashes (the on-chain proof of your deposit), screenshots of the broker dashboard, KYC documents you submitted, and full conversation history with any account manager. These four pieces let the partner build a defensible chain of custody.

Why the recovery partner is masked

Listing the partner publicly creates two problems: it tips off perpetrators, who then accelerate fund-laundering, and it invites recovery-scam impersonators to clone the partner brand. Both happen often enough that masking is the only defensible default.

If you deposited with HBCEC, your case may already be on file. Submit your evidence to be matched and connected privately with the recovery team handling this matter.
